Well, I did try using super(), but I got this:
>>> class B(A):
...     def __init__(self, module):
...             super(A, self).log('system')
...
>>> c = B('module')
=================================================
You should be passed super the current class you want the super class of, not the type of the super class. So it should be:
super(B, self).log('system') # Notice that it passed class B
